Invictus

I never thought I'd say this, but Matt Damon did well.

The film's a little clunky in places but does an excellent job reminding us of our recent history. South Africa's transformation continues to be an astonishing story. I know it's not been a perfect ride, but from these shores (and through Clint Eastwood's eyes) it seems so much be smoother than it could've been.

Unfortunately Odeon have continued their track record of making every cinema-going experience a horrible one. My seat was so filthy I chose to sit on a sheet of paper the the entire film. For an industry that claims films are better in theatres than at home they're not doing a very good job of delivering.
